Reframing Racism Workshop: Language and Tools for Advancing Racial Equity

February Session Times: May 7 (9-5pm), May 8 (9-5pm) and May 9 (9-1pm)

Description:

What can I do? It’s a common question we hear in response to racial events that show up in the news and occur in our own communities.

At CEI, we believe people need a place to talk about race, tools to navigate these sometimes uncomfortable conversations, a place to learn how to recognize and interrupt patterns of privilege and oppression, and an understanding around their personal responsibility in advancing racial equity.  In response, we offer Reframing Racism, a transformative process designed to help folks become more racially conscious individuals who understand how racism operates and what they can do about it.

During this training series, participants will:

• Explore how race was constructed
• Build a racial vocabulary
• Analyze current events
• Build connections and community

This workshop will include:

• Facilitated dialogue and discussion
• Experiential learning activities
• Additional readings, viewings, and resources
• Racial affinity group participation

CEI will gladly issue a completion certificate that participants may use for professional development credits. Participants must work with their own certifying bodies for acceptance.

CEI requires participants to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and/or to show proof of a negative COVID test taken no earlier than 48 hours prior to training starting.
